Product works very well

Hasn't gotten much traction, typical SONY thinking we need another new standard. But the pin design should be better long term and the card is fast. But don't plan on buying them anywhere but on line.

Can't get enough of these cards now

I have been a CF card fan since I got my first 64MB card for $399 over ten years ago. I have had SD cards chip or break but CF has been there for me. Then I get a D4 and find a XQD slot. But I keep saying QXD. They need to make it two letters. That's my only grips. This thing is FAST. I want two XQD slots now. I have the 16GB card that I got with my D4 and then got two 32GB cards. I am weening myself off of CF cards. This is the future.

Great Card

XQD cards are great to have as part of the Nikon D4 system. The 168MB/s write speed is 68% faster than 1000x compact flash memory, allowing bursts of 100 continuous RAW frames at the maximum frame rate. I also appreciate this format's elimination of pins in the card slot, which is a strong plus for anyone who has ever dealt with a bent CF slot pin.

Super Fast!

Excellent Card! Works great in the D4! Pricey, but if you dropped $6k on a D4, whats another couple bills!

I had tremendous trepidation about this new card being included in the new Nikon D4. I really felt like it was a bad idea BEFORE I used them. Now that I have had a chance to use the included 16gb card and this 32gb additional card....I am a huge fan. The Sony XQD cards work extremely well in my Nikon D4. At this point, I wish Nikon had made both slots XQD. The card pushes in with a nice click and there is no concerns over bending pins as in the CF cards. It is a reasonable size and the write speeds seem very fast. I would highly recommend.

I'm using a 16GB and have the 32GB back ordered. First impression: Really Impressed. The card is smaller than a Compact Flash card but slightly thicker. It has a real good feel to it and undeniably it is fast.

Sony XQD S Series Memory Cards transfer speed enahnces the continuous shooting speed

with blazing fast data transfer speeds, Sony's XQD Memory Card achieves stable, continuous shooting to capture each moment in the highest quality. When using with Nikon's DSLR "D4", XQD memory cards can record approximately up to 108 frames in RAW format *2 in continuous shooting mode

Sports photographers can achieve their best-ever shooting performance with the new XQD S Series memory card from Sony.

The high-speed memory card also offers the capacity and reliability that's demanded by professional photo journalists covering sports and other tough shooting assignments.

Offering sustained read/write transfer speeds of 168MB/s (actual speed), XQD S Series outpaces the maximum interface speed limit of Compact Flash cards (167 MB/s).

Partnered with Nikon's D4 professional DSLR, XQD S Series effortlessly captures a non-stop burst of 108 RAW frames3 (at 12-bit compressed RAW, approximately 10.5MB file size). At a shooting speed of 10fps, this lets photographers document the men's 100m sprint final from start to finish in a single, sustained burst of RAW images.

The new card's blazing transfer speeds also slash PC backup times, boosting workflow for busy journalists and creative professionals facing pressured deadlines. Photo professionals can take full advantage of the card's unsurpassed transfer speeds, with back-up times slashed by over 30%2 compared with the fastest CF cards. A high-speed driver for the MRW-E80 XQD card reader is available now for free download at http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/product/mrw-e80

Also available, free driver software allows XQD memory cards to be used with the latest Thunderbolt -enabled computers through a compatible card reader.
